EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1. BACKGROUND

Road and Building Department (RBD) of the Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) has entrusted the responsibility of planning, construction and maintenance of the key State roads to the Andhra Pradesh Road Development Corporation (APRDC). In order to improve the selected core road network, APRDC has planned to provide better quality and safe roads to the road users on a sustainable basis. In this context, APRDC is seeking the World Bank funding for the proposed Andhra Pradesh Road Sector Project (APRSP). This is continuation to the earlier loan from the Bank on improving core network in the state. As part of project preparation, APRDC engaged Feasibility consultants to prepare detailed project report of about 900 km which included undertaking social assessment and preparation of Resettlement Action Plan (RAP). per the requirement of Andhra Pradesh Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy (APRRP) 2005, an RAP is required to be prepared to address the impacts resulting from the proposed road improvements. The document in hand deals about the Social Management Plan (SMPj of Jaggatiyal-Peddapali (IP) road (about 57 km) and it is one of the sub-projects (also referred as package) proposed to be covered in the Year 1 of the project implementation.

2. ABOUT APRSP

The proposed project (APRSP) envisions the following three components:

Component A - Road Improvement: Based on traffic studies, this road improvement component has been subdivided into the following sub-components

(i) Road improvement and up gradation: Based on core network analysis, APRDC has selected about 900 km of road for widening, upgradation and strengthening purposes. These roads will be constructed by loan assistance from the World Bank.

(ii) Public- Private Partnership(PPP). APRDC has selected about 1200 km of high traffic density road on PPP mode involving private entrepreneurship

(iii) Output and Performance based Road Contracts (OPRC) : About 6500 km of roads have been selected under this sub-component.

Component B - Institutional Strengthening component: This component will facilitate operationalization of APRDC, capacity building of APRDC.

Component C - Road safety component: This component will help APRDC/RBD towards better management of traffic and other road safety issues through improved technical solutions.

3. OBJECTIVES

The main objectives of the proposed Si\1P are the following:

• Avoid, if not minimize involuntary resettlement, exploring all viable project alternatives;

• ,X/here involuntary resettlement is unavoidable, assess the magnitude of adverse social impacts and propose mitigation measures;

• Hold consultations with the project stakeholders and assimilate the outcome of these consultations in SMP;

• Develop institutional mechanism for planning, implementing and monitoring process and the R&R activities;

Detailed Project Report, Vol - VIII : Resettlement Action Plan E -1

-,

The Louis Berger Group, Inc. Andhra Pradesh Road Sector Project

Feasibility Study, Design and Detailed Engineering -• Address other social issues (resulting from the proposed project interventions) related to

vulnerable groups (including tribal) and road safety; and ..

• Prepare a plan (SMP) to address all social issues associated with the project.

4. METHODOLOGY -The preparation of SMP has focused on detailed consultations and participation of project

affected persons (PAPs) and other project stakeholders. It involved extensive field (census and

socioeconomic) survey using structured questionnaires and guidelines for undertaking Focus

Group discussions (FGD) and other stakeholders' consultation. The desk review, structured

questionnaires, open ended formats, FGD guidelines, preparation of Village Diary etc. were the

specific tools used to collect the required information. The data/information thus collected

helped in understanding the social and economic features of the affected communities and in

appreciating their issues and concerns. Identification of land to be acquired and inventory of

structures coming within the corridor of impact were the main components of the census

survey carried out among the identified potential project affected families (P AF).

5. PROJECT AREA

The proposed road is referred as 'project road' and it falls in the north-western part of the State. The Project road starts near Jagatiyal and terminates at Peddapalli connecting Gollaplle, • Dharmavaram, Ibrahimpur and Medavaram towns.

The project road is passing through agricultural land and in between there are 500-700 meter length of contiguous built-up areas. The project road provides vital connectivity between NH- • 7, SH 1, and is widely used by interstate traffic. .. The proposed road passes mostly through plain. The carriageway \vidth of the project road ..varies from single lane" intermediate lane, and two-lane.. Generally, the existing road has

sharp-curves, double curves as well as poor vertical proflle. Right of Way (RoW) varies from 8 ..

to 20 meters. Near the settlements and cross roads, the project road experiences congestion,

encroachment of Ro\V, roadside market etc. In open areas, the project road has canopy -building trees on both sides of the road; and green tunnels about 40% of total length.

6. PROJECT IMPACTS

Based on the stakeholders' consultation, census survey of affected families, comprehensive

socioeconomic study of the Project Displaced Families (PDF) and detailed assessment of the

required land acquisition, it is established that the proposed project improvements will have

low level of adverse impacts on the local population.

Proposed lP road improvement will require about 24.70 ha ofland mainly for a new bypass .. and geometric/curve improvements. This will also involve acquisition of some road side structures. This will affect 246 families and displace 65 families. These 246 project affected families (PAFs) consist of 1,060 project affected persons (PAPs). Out of the total 246 PAFs, 156 are titleholders (losing their private land/structures), 63 encroachers of public (mainly RBD) land, I squatter within RoWand 26 kiosks (movable structures made of mainly wooden frame). Among these PAFs, there are 210 vulnerable PAFs consisting of 28 .. Scheduled Caste (SC), 4 Scheduled Tribe (ST) and 39 Women Headed Households (WHH). While majority of these are below poverty level (BPL), there are 197 PAFs who not belong these socially disadvantaged groups but are BPL families. All these families received focus attention under RAP for their resettlement.

7. SOCIAL SAFEGUARDS TRIGGERED

Detailed Project Report, Vol- VIII: Resettlement Action Plan E-2

I.f The Louis Berger Group, Inc. Andhra Pradesh Road Sector Project Feasibility Study, Design and Detailed Engineering

The assessment found that there are no tribal specific habitations along the proposed JP road. In other words, while this sub-project triggers the Bank's operational policy (OP 4.12) on involuntary resettlement, it does not OP 4.1 0 on Indigenous Peoples (referred as tribal in Indian context). However, the issues related to individual tribal PAFs are dealt in the RAP. While the present SMP includes a detailed Resettlement Action Plan (including compensating loss of land and other assets, and measures for relocation of PDFs and economic rehabilitation to restore their livelihood), it also include measures to address issues related to women, prevention of HIVIAIDS and road safety (mainly awareness program).

8. STAKEHOLDERS' CONSULTATION

Local people were informed about the project and its activities and they were consulted in the project related decisions. This helped in understanding not only their perceptions about the project but also helped in seeking their opinion about the project, their preferences/options and their input in the project designs. These consultations were two-way communication where relevant information was shared with the project stakeholders including affected communities. The information shared with the stakeholders related to the extent of land acquisition and number of structures affected, physical displacement and relocation, economic rehabilitation, institutional mechanism for planning and implementation of the project, etc. The stakeholders' consultation were held at various levels. - village, MandaI, District and Project. The consultation has emphasized on involving primary stakeholders (project affected families) directly related to planning and implementing RAP and the project activities. During social assessment and RAP preparation, specific consultation strategy was adopted to consult with ST and other vulnerable PAFs. This included sharing information on the specific measures to support the ST and other vulnerable PAFs in their R&R process. To ensure continued people participation, a consultation mechanism was evolved which would continue during the project implementation. The SMP includes a consultation framework to be adopted during its implementation.

9. R&R POLICY FRAMEWORK

The R&R Policy 2005 of GoAP has a number of progressive measures to help those affected by the infrastructure projects in the state. However, a review of the policy revealed that the R&R issues related to road sector projects have not been adequately addressed. In this regard, a gap analysis of the state R&R policy was carried out to identify additional measures required to address R&R issues associated with road sector projects. Changes proposed in APRRP 2005, based on this gap analysis, have been included in the R&R entitlement framework for the present APRSP which have been approved by GoAP. This R&R entitlement framework together with specific measures to address other social issues (HIV / AIDS, road safety) provides the base for the preparation of this SMP (including RAP as an important component). Important features of the policy framework for land acquisition and R&R entitlements under APRSP are as follow:

.. • Land acquisition (LA) will be as per LA Act 1894. The project ",'ill follow consent award (or mutual negotiations) and if this fails, the normal LA process will be followed . • A one time financial assistance equivalent to 750 days of minimum wages ",'ill be paid

to a PAF becoming landless due to loss of land for the project. For those becoming marginal farmers and small farmers, this financial assistance will be equivalent to 500 man days and 350 man days respectively.

Detailed Project Report, Vol - VIII : Resettlement Action Plan E-3


• For ST families, additional financial assistance equivalent to 500 man days of wages will be provided besides giving preference in the allotment of land for resettlement.

• Training will be organized to one member of each P AF eligible for assistance in restoring their income loss under the R&R policy framework. Such families will also be helped in their rehabilitation process by dovetailing on-going economic programs (for income generation) of the Government.

• PAFs losing house site or businesses will be compensated at replacement value for lost structure. In addition, a house site or business site (free of cost) or cash in lieu thereof will be extended to eligible PAFs. -

• A one-time grant for cattle shed and subsistence allowance (minimum wages equivalent to 240 man days) will be given to each PDF.

• Special provision of a lump sum (Rs 40,000) is available for BPL and other vulnerable among PDFs towards construction of house in the new resettlement sites.

• Among vulnerable PDFs, residing or operating businesses within RoW, a free site \\rill be given to construct alternate housing or work place.

• A transport allowance will be provided to all PDFs to shift their household belongings • to the new resettlement site. •

• Common properties will be replaced in consultation with the local communities. ., A detailed R&R entitlement is presented in Table 1. The Policy framework describes the .. implementation, fund flow and monitoring mechanisms for RAP implementation.

10. LAND ACQUISTION

The project requires about 23.70 ha land, of which 22.40 ha is private land owned by individuals and the remaining is public land. Private land will be acquired as per LA Act 1894 through Consent award/mutual negotiations. Public land (other than RBD land) will be transferred to the project in accordance with the government guidelines and procedures for land alienation. LA and resettlement works will be completed before handing over site to construction contractor. Possession of land by the project will be taken over only after disbursement of compensation and extending R&R entitlements. LA procedures will be initiated with notification of the intention to acquire land under LA Act 1894. Determination of compensation and its payment is expected to start in March 2010 as indicated below.

b terms of the actual built up area, the project entails acquisition/appropriation of 1300 sq.mtr. of structures to be demolished for the project interventions. Compensation for structures will be computed at Basic Schedule of Rates l adopted by the RBD. However, no deduction will be made towards depreciation. Affected families will be permitted to carry the construction material (from the demolished structure) that one can salvage. Other assets like crops, trees, etc if affected will be compensated as per the procedures laid out in the RAP document.

11. RESETTLEMENT The relocation sites are proposed to be developed the road nearer to the place of present residence. These resettlement sites are mainly proposed in RBD land along the road, keeping in view the proposed technical designs and ensuring adequate safety measures. At locations where R&B land is not available, the District Administration will provide land for resettlement site subject to availability of Government land. In this process, the District R&R Committee will help in identification of suitable government land for resettlement sites. The procedures to be followed by the implementing functionaries have been detailed out in SMP. Essentially, these include verification and updating the list of PAFs; public disclosure of this list and their (on individual basis) R&R entitlements; issuance of ID Cards along with their photos, losses and entitlements; compensation for loss of land and other assets; disbursement of relocation assistance including house construction assistance and subsistence allowance; development of resettlement sites and allotment of house sites, etc. No family will be deprived of their land/structure unless compensated. No construction will be initiated unless PAFs are compensated and they receive their R&R entitlements. Similarly, no construction will be permitted unless all PDFs are properly resettled. As indicated in Table 1, displaced families

under project will get a free house site, a house construction grant for BPL families, grant for cattle shed, transport assistance and subsistence allowance.

12. ECONOMIC REHABILITATION

The overall approach of the project towards the economic rehabilitation of PAFs is to ensure that they enhance, if not at least regain their pre-project level of economic livelihood. Towards this end, the R&R policy framework agreed for the project includes allotment of government land (where available and agreed by the eligible PAF) together with the financial assistance towards land development and adjustment of compensation towards the cost of land allotted. Vulnerable families will be preferred in the allotment of sites for businesses/shops. Financial assistance to eligible PAFs is provided if they become landless, marginal and small farmers LA for the project. in addition, Government programs for income generation are available to vulnerable families (BPL, SC andS1) on subsidy-loan schemes. The Package NGO (selected for JP road) will help such vulnerable PAFs to access government programs to improve their household earning. The rehabilitation assistance provided to PAFs along with subsidy will help them to enhance their living conditions. The NGO, \'vith the help of the Package Manager (tl[lg1nel=r in charge ofJP road), will approach the concerned government departments/agencies and ensure their coverage under Government programs, particularly the Indira Kranthi Patham. One member from each eligible PAF will be given training either to impart new skill or improve the existing ones to help them to take up alternate income generating schemes and supplement their household income.

13. OTHER SOCIAL ISSUES

13.1 Vulnerable Groups

The proposed project interventions will not have any significant adverse impacts on the indigenous peoples (referred locally as tribal) as 'groups or communities'. However, for those affected as individuals due to the project, adequate measures are included in SMP to safegt.ard their interests and concerns. The R&R policy framework agreed for the project provides for additional measures for tribal PAFs. These include preferential allotment of alternate land, if available; 25% additional resettlement grant if settled outside the tribal areas; additional rehabilitation assistance; and house construction assistance to help in the house construction in the new resettlement site. Besides tribals, the vulnerables among PAPs include the BPL families, women headed households, SC families, etc. During implementation, all vulnerable PAFs if interested will be given preference for wage employment in the project construction activities.

13.2 Gender Issues Women are categorized as vulnerable groups and if they are affected by the project on individual basis, they are eligible for additional support in their R&R process. Women will get wages, under the project, at par with men on 'equal work equal payment' basis. Where ever available, active women Self Help Groups, if interested will be involved in project implementation. Package NGO has an important role to involve women members through out the project period.

13.3 Child Labour No child labour will be involved in the construction work. This is an important clause of the contractual agreement with the Construction agency. This will be strictly monitored by the project during implementation.

13.4 Road Safety Education

III


During social assessment and stakeholders' consultation, road safety has emerged an important issue and local communities and other road users expressed their concerns, particularly on completion of project which would significantly increase the vehicle speed and traffic flow. In this regard, the project provides for road safety measures in the construction plan. However, to educate the local communities on the use of road, following traffic rules and ensuring safety, a program on road safety education has been included in the present S:t\1P. Since the Package I\GO would be developing a good rapport with the local communities and other road users, road safety education and awareness campaigns will be one of its important activities of the assignment.

13.5 Prevention HIVI AIDS Transmission It is well established that because of proposed improvements in the road, mobility of Commercial Sex \Vorkers and truckers and other road users will increase and hence there are increased chances of transmission and spread of HIVI AIDS. Prevention and control of HIVIAIDS transmission will be one of the important social responsibilities of the project. An action pl;m for the prevention and control of HIVI AIDS has been prepared in close coordinatlOn \N-ith the Andhra Pradesh AIDS Control Society (APSACS) for the entire AP Road sector project, of which this JP road is also included. This Plan \N-ill be implemented by the Package NGO, closely working with local functionaries of APSACS supported by the Package Manager.

14. IMPLEMENTATION MECHANISM

In this comprehensive SMP, RAP is the most important component; other components include prevention and control of HIVI AIDS and Road Safety Action Plan. This SMP, therefore, has a v,lriety of project stakeholders, target groups and implementing agencies. For example, R&R component will be implemented by the Package Manager in close coordination with the District Administration and will be closely monitored by the District R&R Committee. RAP implementation \-vill be facilitated by the Package NGO. HIVIAIDS plan will be implemented

. by involving APSACS directly. Road safety measures will be implemented with the help of Transport Department where Package NGO will be undertaking education and awareness programs among the local/road side communities and other road users.

Therefore, the agreed framework for SMP implementation is as follows.

• The S:viP including RAP will be approved by GoAP

• Besides APRDC, monitoring of RAP will be done by the District level R&R Committee

• L\' and R&R activities will be implemented \N-ith the help of the District Administration

• Package M;mager will be implementing other components of SMP (HIV I AIDS Action Plan and Road safety program) with support from respective government agencies (APSACS and Transport Department) and facilitated by Package NGO.

15. BUDGET

The budget for this S:t\1P (including LA and RAP activities) works out to Rs. 21.48 crore. The budget provides for compensating land and other assets required for the project, R&R assistance, and development of resettlement sites. This also provides for capacity building and training, cost of engaging Package NGO and administrative expenses at the Package level. Budget required for HIVIAIDS and Road Safety measures will come from the respective plans prepared at the project level.

CHAPTER -1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND

Road and Building Department (RBD) of Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) has entrusted the responsibility of planning, construction and maintenance of key State roads to Andhra Pradesh Road Development Corporation (APRDC1). APRDC has planned to improve the selected core road network by providing better quality and safer roads to the users in sustainable manner under Andhra Pradesh Road Sector Project (APRSP) with loan assistance from the World Bank. Improved quality of core road networks, better institutional operation and management (O&}J) system of APRDC and safe roads are important features of the proposed APRSP.

1.2 PROJECT COMPONENTS

The proposed project envisions following three components:

Component A - Road Improvement: Based on traffic studies, this road improvement component has been subdivided into the following sub-components

(i) Road improvement and up gradation: Based on core network analysis, APRDC has selected about 900 km of road for widening, upgradation and strengthening purposes. These roads will be constructed by loan assistance from the World Bank.

(ii) Public- Private Partnership(pPP): APRDC has selected about 1200 km of high traffic density road on PPP mode involving private entrepreneurship

(iii) Output and Peifo17JJance based Road Contracts (OPRC) : About 6500 km of roads have been selected under this sub-component.

Component B - Institutional Strengthening component: This component will facilitate operationalization of APRDC, capacity building of APRDC.

Component C - Road safety component: This component will help APRDC/RBD towards better management of traffic and other road safety issues through improved technical solutions.

1.2.1 Roads selected for road improvement and upgradation

Based on engineering, traffic, economic, environmental and social analysis, about 428 km of road have been prioritized to improve under the project (APRSP Phase I). Further, the project (phaes I) roads have been divided into Phase I A (about 265 km) and Phase I B (163km) Roads. The road corridors included under Phase-I A and proposed to be implemented in the Year 1 of the Project are indicated below.

1. Kandi-Shadnagar (65.60 Km)

2. Chittoor-Puttur (60.80 Km)

3. Kurnool-Devanakonda (60.60 km)

4. Mydukuru - Jammalamadugu (41 Km) ... 5. Jaggatiyal-Peddapalli(57 km)

Each one of the above mentioned road corridors are referred as Package (sub-project). The present document pertains to Jaggtiyal-Peddapalli0P) road. Details of all prioritized roads under phase I is attached as Annexure-I.

1.3 NEED OF THE PROJECT

Andhra Pradesh is one of the most progressive states of India. The contribution of tertiary sector towards the State's economy has been on rise over the past decade. GoAP has taken step towards better fiscal and economic management, accelerating economic growth and improving quality of life with its vision 20202• Improving infrastructure especially transport sector, to facilitate agricultural and industrial growth is key to achieving goals of Vision 2020. The State Road Policy (2005-2015) also aims at providing an efficient, safe and environmentally sustainable road network in the State. But there are serious financial constrains on the development and maintenance of the state core road network and this is retlected in the budget allocation which reveals huge gap between actual needs and resources available for capital and maintenance provision. India Country Assistance Strategy (CAS:, 2004 has identified transport sector as one of the key drivers of economic growth. World Bank has realized that the proposed project (APRSP Phase-I) is consistent with the C\S requirement of working with the states and the sectors as identified. Based on the road policy CAS study, GoAP through GoI has requested for financial assistance from the \"XTorld Bank for APRSP. Details of component of APRSP are mentioned PID in 2006. This Social management Plan (SMP) is for Jaggatiyal-Peddaplli OP) road.

1.4 PROJECT BENEFITS

The proposed JP sub-project will have the follO\ving direct benefits:

(i) Improved quality of life for the population in the project area: The proposed project will provide easy access to important towns like Karimnagar, and Ramgudem. These two towns (and other towns including Gollapalle, Dharmavaram, yIedavam, and Ibrahimpatnam) provide services to villages abutting the project road. Improvement of JP road will also provide improved medical and education facilities to rural population.

(ii) Economic boost to the local population by easy transportation of materials: Agriculture and forest based economic activities are in the vicinity of the project road. Coal mining is an important industrial activity in the project district. Improvement of the road will help not only transporting agriculture and forest produce but also in moving coal.

(iii) Better connectivity for the smaller settlements to the District Headquarter: This road will provide connectivity to even smaller and inaccessible villages. This ensures enhanced administrative services to villages abutting the road.

(iv) Connectivity to the industry and vast agricultural hinterland: The agricultural hinterland and industries will be linked because of proposed road improvement.

(V) Increased employment opportunities for the local population: In addition to employment opportunities during construction phase, it is expected that after road construction there will be change in land use (especially along the road stretch) and more commercial establishments (shops, Dhaba/restaurants/eating places, small workshop serving the vehicles moving on the road etc). These activities will provide additional employment and increased wages in the project area.

1.5 THE PROJECT ROAD

The proposed road is referred as 'project road' and it falls in the north-western partof the State. The Project road is located in Karimnager district and starts near Jaggatiyal and terminates at Peddapalli connecting Gollaplle,Dharmavaram,Ibrarumpur and Medavaram towns.

Feasibility Study, Design and Detailed Engineering

The project road is passing through agricultural land and in between is found 500-700 meter length of contiguous built-up areas. The project road provides vital connectivity beh,veen NH-7, SH 1, is widely used by interstate traffic.

The proposed road passes mostly through plain areas. The carriageway width of the project road varies from single lane, intermediate lane, and two-lanes. Generally, the existing road has sharp-curves, double curves as well as poor vertical profile. Right of Way (Ro\V) varies from 8 to 20 meters. Near the settlements and cross roads, the project road experiences congestion, encroachment of RoW, roadside market etc. In open areas, the project road has canopy-building trees on both side of the road (green tunnels about 40% of total length).

1.6 PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT

The proposed road improvement envisages 2 with paved shoulder. The improvement proposed involved improvement in geometry at sharp curves, raising of submerged stretches and provision of drains (both side and cross drains) along the entire stretches. To minimize impact on road side establishment, the proposed road improvement has considered minimum (18 meter for widening) corridor of impact (Col) without compromising technical standards. (Fig. 2.1) Meeting the technical requirement Col has been reduced to minimize negative impacts.

1.7 NEED FOR SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN As part of selection of roads for inclusion under the project, the selected roads have III. undergone detailed and staggered analysis. This helped in the preparation of detailed project reports including engineering report, and social and environmental assessment report. Besides detailed engineering studies, a detailed social assessment including assessment of impacts on local landholders/users of land and tribal communities has been done as per the requirement of operational policies1 of the World Bank and the Government of Andhra Pradesh Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policies (APRRP) 2005. One of the basic features of these social safeguard policies is to enhance, (if not), at least restore, the living conditons of the people affected people (PAP) and resettlement of those getting displaced. The APRRP 2005 necessitates socio-economic assessment of the impacts on project-affected persons (PAPs) based on individual losses. Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R) of PA..Ps •• intrinsically focuses on consultation and participation with relevant stakeholders, prim.lrily with the affected communities. All the R&R measures included in the Resettlement Action

Detailed Project Report, Vol- VIII : Resettlement Action Plan 1-4


Plan (RAP) form part of the sub-project (Package) level SMP. A separate section in S1-1.P is on assessment of impacts on tribals and a strategy to address issues related to affected tribal communities in the project corridors. Similarly, SMP also includes a section on other social issues including gender development and Road Safety measures. A separate HIVIAIDS Action Plan for the entire project (APRSP) has also been prepared which has been referred in this Si\1P.

1.7.1 Objectives of the SMP

• Avoid wherever feasible, or at least minimize involuntary resettlement, by exploring all viable project alternatives

• Determine the magnitude of adverse social impacts and propose mitigation measures with the agreed policy provisions

• Outline results of stakeholders' consultation and incorporate the outcome of these consultations in the social management plan

• Develop institutional mechanism for implementation of the R&R activities and for monitoring and evaluation of the R&R implementation process

• Address other social issues rel:ated to vulnerable groups (including tribals), road safety measures and HIVIAIDS

• Prepare a plan to address all social issues associated with the project

1.7.2 Need for and Scope of the Social Assessment

In order to prepare SMP, there is a need to have a detailed social assessment of the project including an assessment of the impacts (both positive and negative) resulting from the proposed project interventions. The activities undertaken as part of this assessment include:

.:. Identification of stakeholders

.:. Identification of impacts

.:. Involvement of people in the assessment process

.:. Consultation with the stakeholders to improve quality of participatory planning

.:. Identification of social hot spots

.:. Identification of mitigation measures to minimize resettlement issues

.:. Census survey of project affected persons

.:. Identification of vulnerable affected groups

Based on the social assessment and impact analysis, stakeholders' consultation and R&R policy framework, a detailed Social Management Plan has been prepared. The detailed process adopted in the social assessment is described below

1.8 SOCIAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS ADOPTED The entire social assessment has been done at different stages:

• Strategic option study

• Preliminary screening at Pre-feasibility stage

• Detailed screening at feasibility stage

• Detailed project report (DPR) preparation

Feasibility Study, Design and Detailed Engint'ering

1.8.1 STRATEGIC OPTION STUDr (SoS) has indicated that the selected roads (about 2000 km) for improvement under APRSP are socially acceptable with adequate mitigation measures and suitable enhancement for sustainable social development. As mentioned earlier also these 2000 km of key road network will be considered for improvements and widening in phased manner. To prioritize the core network RDC has undertaken following stage 'W'ise analysis. Social assessment has been the integral component of such staggered analysis.

1.8.2 PRELIMINARY SOCIAL SCREENING AT PRE-FEASIBILITY STAGE

Out of 2000 km length of roads, about 1300 km of high-density corridors were identified by RDC for further screening by the consultants to identify about 400 km for improvement and up gradation under APRSP phase-I Roads. These corridors were selected from three different regions of the state: Coastal Andhra, Telengana and Rayalseema. At this stage, engineering, economic, social and environmental parameters were accounted for screening 525 km (125 km more than 400 km envisaged earlier) and screening out the remaining stretches. The indicators selected for social screening were based on development indices of villages, extent of land acquisition, proportion of ST, SC, non workers in potential project affected settlements, number of structures affected, HIV/ AIDS prevalence rate. These indicators are

o Development indicators

o Settlement level social indicators

o Total land acquisition

o RoW deficient stretches (Iv[inimum width required for actual construction of the proposed improvement/upgradation two lane road is 18 meters. Stretches having RoW less than 18 meter width are considered as RoW deficient stretches)

o Degree of congestion in terms of built up area

o Number of commercial structures affected

o Total length of high critical segments

o HIV/ AIDS prevalence rate

o Number of curves and Junctions (Road Safety issues)

These indicators were weighed based on importance of each parameter using ranking methods. This helped in assessing the social vulnerability of settlements towards proposed improvements. Preliminary screening helped in categorizing the roads (selected for screening) into low, medium and high social impact raods. While no road qualified for a high impact category, 3 roads are categorized as medium impacts and 4 roads as low social impact category (for details refer Feasibility Report, May 2007).

1.8.3 SOCIAL ASSESSMENT AT FEASIBILITY STAGE

A detailed Social Assessment of each project road selected for improvement was carried out during the feasibility stage. It covered identification of social hot spots; assessing the excent of land acquisition, number of potential PAFs and preparation of social management framework. Further, the feasibility study analyzed the location of alternative alignments; strategies for R&R management and institutional mechanism for implementation of SMP (refer Feasibility Report, August 2007).

1.8.4 SOCIAL ASSESSMENT AT DPR STAGE

An extensive social assessment has been undertaken following the operational policy of the World Bank5 and the requirement of GoAP R&R Policy 2005. The assessment adopted intensive field data collection and its analysis, community involvement in SA process to understand possible community conilicts especially for locating bypasses, relocating affected community resources like ponds, schools, hospitals because of project intervention and to undertake suggestions from the people to enhance planning prospective and induce sense of ownership of the project.

1.8.5 Analysis of Alternatives: One of the important aspects of the social assessment process in the entire project preparation phase was the analysis of alternatives. The alternative analyses have been done by taking into account the engineering, social and environmental aspects of the project at following locations.

Medaram Village: From km 34/00 to km 36/500 (2.5km), the project road traverses through Nilingapalli and Medaram village, where the road is transformed into a village street of 4.0m width. Out of 2.5 km length, around 1.0km length of the road is beset with sharp bends and blind curves which makes just impossible to ply any, bus or truck along the stretch. There is no possibility of improvement of geometric along the existing alignment and it is recommended to provide a bypass at this location. During reconnaissance surveys, the Project preparation support team have discussed with regular R&B Division No.7 at Peddapalli, about the constraints and possible solutions. The details of proposed bypass are given in Figure below

(l. Medaram bypass

I~

PeddapalIi Town: The project road,Jagityal Peddapalli, ends at km 58/800 on SH-1. The stretch from km 57/0 to 58/800 (1.8km) , traverses through Peddapalli town and where the project road serves as local town-road. Because of very poor geometry, congestion and continuous built-up areas in Peddapalli portion, uninterrupted flow of traffic is not possible. Moreover due to blind curves and densely built-up area along the road, this stretch has become very accident prone. While having discussions with R&B officials, it has been found that a bypass proposal for Peddapalli has already been mooted by Division No.7 of R&B department. The proposed bypass traverses along the

5 Umbrella Policy of the World Bank is OP 4.10(environmental assessment and other safeguard policy like Natural Habitat (-+.04), Forests (4.36), Pest Management (4.09), Physical Cultural Resources (O.PA.11), Safety of Dams (OP 4.3':'). Some of these operational policies may not be applicable for road projects. The analysis is an attempt to understand applicability of the policies as mentioned above.

Despite efforts made to mInlmIze resettlement, some of impacts could not be avoided. These impacts have been identified and accordingly mitigation measures have been proposed. These measures include stakeholder's consultations, R&R Policy interventions and dovetailing ongoing government schemes for the benefit of the affected families.

1.10 METHODOLOGY

The detailed methodologies adopted for Social Assessment have already been dealt in the Social Assessment Report of the Project (prepared separately). Following section provides highlights of methodologies adopted for the preparation of RAP and these include

collection of data from both primary and secondary sources. Secondary data/information ... have been collected from the project records, published reports, discussions with proJect

In order to assess the extent of losses, survey and measurement of structures and other assets were carried out after finalization of design. To quantify losses, designs were superimposed on revenue maps. Basic schedule of rate (BSR) and market values were collected and accounted in the valuation of assets and properties to finalize budgetary requirement for compensation and implementing R&R activities. Consultation with key stakeholders including project functionaries at different levels has provided needed infonnation to develop institutional mechanism for implementation of RAP.

project area, categorization of socially and economically disadvantaged groups, technical considerations etc.

Step II: Training and Capacity Building

Field level Enumerators \-vith sociological research background were selected from the University and Social Surveyor from KGOs and CBOs working in the project area. Enumerators had undergone two weeks of intensive training conducted by the resource persons of the consultants. The Social Expert of the Consultants and the Revenue officers (working for the project) had imparted training to the social survey teams.

Explanation of terms used in the questionnaires, methods of getting information from potential PAPs, mechanism of social behavior, strategy of communication with respondents etc. were part of the training program. During training sessions, enumerators were exposed to role play of PAPs, to make them conversant with the situations in the field and approach required for collection of information through questionnaires, understanding and appreciating local situations etc. The survey teams were mobilized in the field after testing of questionnaire in the project area.

Step III: Preparation of Strip Maps

In order to assess impacts on local population resulting from the proposed project interventions, structures coming within the RoW were marked, measured and recorded on a strip map. This also included the typology of construction (such as pucca, semi-pucca, and katcha) based on construction materials used and the usage of structure like for residential, commercial and other purposes. Extent of loss was determined by measuring the distance of the structure from the proposed centerline (Fig 1.3).

Step IV: Identification ofAffected Land

For identification of the affected lands and potential PAFs, social teams went to the project corridor along with the drawings of the proposed roads true to scale and Sajara (revenue) maps for site verification. The corridor of impact (proposed RoW for new road construction) was marked in the field at 100m intervals in straight portion and 50 meters interval at curves. Accordingly, proposed Corridor of Impact (CoI) was superimposed on sajara map to assess the exact extent of land required to be acquired/appropriated. This included measurement of Center line from the fixed boundary stone of villages in the field and from the fixed location of boundary stone as shown in Sajara map (coordinates of village maps). On identification of affected plots of land, the social teams visited Tahsil oftices to collect land records and to identify the owners of the affected plots along with their addresses and joint holders (if any).

Step V: Census and Baseline Survey

On identification of actual impacts and list of affected persons (titled and non- titled), questionnaires were designed for the Census Survey and sample (25%) baseline socioeconomic survey. These formats were canvassed \\->ith the potentially affected people. The questionnaires included details regarding social and economic aspects of the affected persons such as demographic features (age sex composition, marital status etc) and economic information (occupation, sources of income, movable and immovable assets) of the households, expected 10ssesOoss of residential/ commercial or other properties as well as type of structure (such as pucca, semi pucca, kutcha) and options/preferences for their R&R (like cash in lieu of losses or site in lieu of losses) For details see Annexures 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3.

Whle census survey has established actual impact on the project affected families in terms of severity, perception and R&R option for resettlement and rehabilitation, 25% sample socio-economic survey helped in profiling socio-economic conditions of the P AFs .

Step VI: Updating of Census Survey Data

Based on the final design duly approved by the APRDC, the census survey data was updated. List of PAFs along \vith the proposed corridor of impact was verified by marking of the centerline of the proposed corridor. The distance and offset of the assets and properties from the new centre line were measured. This helped to arrive at the updated and final list of project affected persons. However, the implementing agencies/Package NGO will again update the census survey data during implementation ofthe project

Step VII: Stakeholders' Consultation

Stakeholders' consultation was initiated as soon as the assessment process commenced. Consultation were planned to understand peoples' perception and seek their opinion for the success of project execution. Consultation is also an important tool to gather qualitative data which helps in improving quality of planning. Follo\.ving steps have been followed during stakeholders' consultations.

• Identification of key stakeholders

• Deciding on the level of consultation

• Identification of mechanism and tools of consultation

issues discussed were the specific needs of women and other vulnerable groups, policies and

other interventions required for Lt\. and R&R, strategies for resettlement and relocation,

options for alternative alignment etc.. Findings of these consultations (Focused Group -..Discussions and stakeholders consultations organized at the District/Package levels) were instrumental in devising the social management plan.

Step VIII Analysis of Data

The interview schedules fIlled up every day were scrutinized and verified on the spot (project corridor) and the data-sheets were coded. A coding manual was prepared for • consistency in data entry. The MS-Excel software package was used for the d~ta feeding and .. its analysis. Wherever applicable, SPS package was also used to generate tables. As a

measure of final confirmation about the correctness of the data, random manual calculations

and checking was also done.

CHAPTER - 2 : SOCIAL ASSESSMENT

2.1 GENERAL

This chapter describes about the socio-economic profile of the project area and the project affected persons. It also elaborates strategies required to minimize resettlement issues by adopting technically suitable and socially acceptable designs. Despite efforts made to minimize negative impacts some of them could not be avoided and the proposed project may evidence displacement ..

This chapter specifically analyzes the impacts on land and other immovable assets based on detailed measurement survey done after the final designs. Based on the impact on land and structures, a Census Survey was carried out; and the results of the Survey established socioeconomic status of PAFs. The Census Survey has indicated the nature and characteristics of R&R mterventions required to mitigate negative impacts of the proposed project.

2.2 THE PROJECT AREA

2.2.1 General

The project area is part of Gondwana carton has evidenced crustal warping because of tremendous lateral stress which resulted into metamorphosed rocks (gneiss, quartazite) and uninterrupted denudation during preceding geological era. Thus the physical landscape surrounding the project road has varied physiography which includes ridge "tor and isolated hiUock~~ and trough (low-lying areas) 'with recently deposited alluviums. Recorded history of project area goes back to 3000 years ago. The region evidences growth and admixture of cultural footprints of Pandya, Cholla, Cherra, Satvahans, Muslim and British Empire.

2.2.2 Land Use Pattern

General Land Use Pattern of the area abutting project road suggests that the project road has mixed land use dominated by agriculture, followed by barren and uncultivable land, and built-up area. Economy of the project areas is predominantly subsistence agriculture 'with sugar cane cultivation and orchard farming (1vfango-cultivation) as the main activities. Coal mining is an important industrial activity in the project area

2.2.3 Socio -Economic Characteristics of the Project Area

Most of the people in the project district (K.arimnagar) are dependent on the agricultural activities. The Table below indicates that the project area has poor development indices such as per-capita income, proportion of non-workers (51%). Literacy rate (54.9%) of the District is also lower than the State average. The socio-cultural indicators point to low development indices. Female work participation rate is also low (43.27%).

2.2.4 Socio -Economic Characteristics of the Project Mfected Settlement

Following section outlines some of the social indicators of the settlement abutting project

road. The percentage ofST and SC groups is more in Paidichintalapalli village (29.37%) and .. low in Jagityal villages (14.4%). The non-workers percentage is more in Sriramulapalle ..

(51.63%). The literacy rate varies from 1.94% (Gollapalle) to 25.47% (Dongathurthi). The

characteristics of the settlements are presented in Table 2.2. •

Following sections illustrate analysis of the results of socio-economic and Census surveys.

The analysis is an attempt to describe the social, demographic and economic profile of

PAPs to understand the type of R&R intervention measures required to enhance li-ving

condition of PAPs. •

2.3.1 Social Profile of PAPs

2.3.1.1 Family Types and Composition

Based on the final technical designs, a socia-economic and census survey was conducted within the proposed Col. The census survey identified affect families based on the economic activities carried out by them. Table 2.3 presents the type of families and number .. of persons affected. Out of the total 246 families affected, about 55.28% are from .. agricultural, 18.7% from residential and 26.02% from commercial categories.
